Guest magic0801 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I gave the Double Figure album a listen the other day and was seriously impressed. Not a bad track. Where should i go from here??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Rest Proof Clockwork or Not for Threes. Go backwards, not forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Oh come on, Spokes was fucking great! Maybe just needs a bit of time. And what about Tekkonkinkreet? I love Greedy Baby as well, but I'm sure I'm in a minority there. Do you rate the later stuff very highly JR, or do you mean that the earlier releases are just worth checking out first? Not trying to flame or anything, just genuinely interested in your opinion as I can't remember reading many of your views on Plaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chogg Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Not for Threes, and then Spokes. Rest Proof Clockwork is pretty meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpentintollwut Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yeah indeed, RPC good....Pino Pomo. I think it's better than Spokes. Not for Threes would be my favourite I guess, Double Figure is great too of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpentintollwut Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The edit-button disappeared on me - I meant to say I'm just giving Spokes another listen and I had forgotten it contains some great tracks, so I can't say RPC is better. But it's good, and different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chogg Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 lol pigster After posting on this thread last week or whatever I took out Not For Threes and started listening to it again, and I still maintain that it's second best after Double Figure (minus a few shit tracks - myopia wtf?) but I think I should give RPC a better listen.. I never actually got a copy of it, but had the sum of its tracks scattered over a couple mixed cds at some point. I just remember a lot of cheese. ALSO. The secret track after Air Locked, "Face Me", is one of the best things they've ever done. I know it's pretty simple but I find it very moving.

Guest bitroast Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 aw man! i forgot about face me, but i remember loving it! *listens* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chogg Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 aw man! i forgot about face me, but i remember loving it! *listens* The simplicity of this song is what makes it so great. I love the percussion. This is the kind of chilled out track (a la rakimou, or zamami - albeit not as lush) that seems to be otherwise missing from that album (ok maybe ralome)... also is it just me or do some of the extra vocal dubs sound a bit like alison goldfrapp? I know it's not, but it sounds goldfrappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chogg Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 ok so it is goldfrapp after all... lol this is what happens when i dont actually own the cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to flame or anything, just genuinely interested in your opinion as I can't remember reading many of your views on Plaid. After Double Figure, none of the Plaid material really interested me or made me smile the way tracks from Not For Threes or Rest Proof Clockwork did. Spokes just didn't have any tracks that stood out for me. It's not a bad album by any means, just didn't have any tracks that grabbed me like their prior releases did.
